Similar to Medicine, digital communication, information processing, and x-ray imaging have changed the face of dentistry. The incorporation of digital systems into medical and dental practice has necessitated development of a standard that allows reliable transmission of information between the devices taking the images, devices storing the images, and devices displaying the images. This standa...

Cytometry Markup Language, CytometryML, is a proposed new analytical cytology data standard. CytometryML is a set of XML schemas for encoding both flow cytometry and digital microscopy text based data types. CytometryML schemas reference both DICOM (Digital Imaging and Communications in Medicine) codes and FCS keywords. These schemas provide representations for the keywords in FCS 3.0 and will ...

OBJECTIVE To support clinically relevant indexing of biomedical images and image-related information based on the attributes of image acquisition procedures and the judgments (observations) expressed by observers in the process of image interpretation. DESIGN The authors introduce the notion of "image acquisition context," the set of attributes that describe image acquisition procedures, and ...

The evaluation of patients in the emergency room department (ER) through more accurate imaging methods such as computed tomography (CT) has revolutionized their assistance in the early 80s. However, despite technical improvements seen during the last decade, surgical planning in the ER has not followed the development of image acquisition methods. The authors present their experience with DICOM...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE We present a relatively simple approach that physicians can use to reconstruct cerebral vessels as 3D numerical grids or computational replicas. The method accurately duplicates their geometry to provide computer simulations of their blood flow. METHODS Initial images were obtained by using any medical imaging technique, such as MR angiography, CT angiography, or 3D dig...

Interdisciplinary ultrasound centers are typically shaped by the interaction of internal medicine, surgical, and radiology departments in an effort to provide more effective availability of ultrasound services. The integration of additional disciplines significantly expands the areas of application and services. However, there are also new challenges. Radiology at an ultrasound center plays an ...

INTRODUCTION TO THE PROBLEM Muhimbili Orthopaedic Institute (MOI) is a public, academic tertiary care referral center in Dar es Salaam, Tanzania, East Africa. MOI is the main referral center for orthopedic and neurosurgical patients in Tanzania. In July 2014, the Radiology Department at MOI consisted of two attending radiologists, 10 technologists, and three IT staff with imaging capabilities o...

The estimation of glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow based on camera-based methods for diagnostic and prognostic are studied by manually ROIs drawing on dynamic renal scintigraphy. The manually ROIs drawing may reduce the convenience and reliability. This paper proposes a estimation of glomerular filtration rate and effective renal plasma flow based on camera-based metho...

Oberflächenscanner werden zunehmend in der Medizin genutzt. Im Gegensatz zu radiologischen Modalitäten wie CT, MRT oder Ultraschall ist aber die Anbindung an einen zentralen Datenspeicher und die Kombination der Geräte mit Produkten unterschiedlicher Hersteller noch nicht möglich. Dadurch werden die Arbeitsabläufe zur Langzeitarchivierung der Daten erschwert, sowie Interoperabilität zwischen Sy...
